the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

I can never keep this straight - do the tariffs move forward or back tonight?

Mandatory high school civics class that isn’t just like “how a bill becomes law” or whatever but also “how NOAA powers your phone’s weather app” and “NIH helped make your asthma inhaler”

needlepoint it on a pillow and then use that pillow to smother anyone in congress who’s too busy keeping their job to DO their job

Thank you! I just checked all local news stations in PDX and NOTHING. This is a huge crowd. Excellent work, Oregonians.

EVERY. WORD. OF. THIS.

We’re witnessing Shock & Awe doctrine—psychological warfare to paralyze the masses with chaos and outrage, controlling media, government, and finance to push injustice to new extremes. Outrage must be channeled into action. Take to the streets.

ACTION ALERTS! Be sure to check out these opportunities for activism from across the movement. Drop a ❤️ and share with your followers too, so that more people see it! LFG

📌Instead of going after the monster and his Republican Party who are abusing us, Jeffries and Democratic leadership went after their own. Instead of going after the 10 pathetic Democrats who went along with Republicans’ efforts to censure Green, they went after the Democrat who was censured. 1/5

“A crucial truth: the only power that Trump, Musk, etc. have is the power to give orders—they don't do much of anything else themselves. The other 300 million of us have the power to not obey them and to support and encourage others who don't.” www.meditationsinanemergency.com/people-get-r...

We don’t need billionaires. We need - affordable housing - universal healthcare - living wages - clean & reliable public transit - affordable childcare Imagine if the rewards of our hard work went back into our communities instead of being hoarded by a handful at the top.

Shut it down. Do not capitulate. #democrats should take a stand. Lead.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

This letter. Oh, this letter. @marcelias.bsky.social is a flipping American Hero. Full stop. May we all fight with the vigor, courage, and clear vision of this man.

MultCo declares state of emergency effective 6pm Monday, Feb. 10; forecast meets thresholds to open severe weather shelters from 8pm Monday thru at least noon Tuesday, Feb. 11: Cook Plaza - 19421 SE Stark St, Gresham Hollywood - 1815 NE 43rd Ave, Portland NW 14th Ave - 600 NW 14th Ave, Portland

TriMet won't turn away anyone riding to or from a warming shelter who cannot pay fare through 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Please tell your bus operator that you're heading to or from a warming shelter.

Bipartisanship is not what we voted for. Fight for us, Democrats. Fight. Shut it all down.

NOW. hundreds have gathered in union square for the rise up for trans youth rally here in NYC! shooting videos and stills

Democrats it’s probably PAST time for you to do something. But I would like it very much if you would even flipping TRY. WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS? What the HELL are you doing?????

I know we don’t have the votes, but this demands articles of impeachment. When we found out Trump violated the impoundment control act for withholding Ukraine aid, we IMMEDIATELY began impeachment discussions. This is like that but GOVERNMENT WIDE. This requires more than letters and lip service.

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.

Where is my handbasket?

To @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and ALL #democrats - stop bringing a washcloth to a knife fight. Stand up. Speak out. Fight for us. Lead. @marienewman.bsky.social says it better here:

How to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on #MLKDay

Hard same. So much same.

Looks like me on Monday mornings realizing I have to go to work.

Wise words from one of my Democracy Idols open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

our lazy, consolidated press loves to call the dismantling of essential cornerstones of a functioning society (consumer protection, labor rights, whatever) a "blow to democrats," even if the policy shift harms everyone and the reforms have broad, bipartisan support

Happy 4th anniversary Jan 6th! A day where shown the full problems of not addressing racism, transphobia, misogyny and entitlement Rather than act swiftly and accordingly Instead America committed to “civility” and has placed itself right back in the precipice May we have time left to learn

Never forget.

I’m with Harry.

Welp

He died as he lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

This encapsulates the present moment.

Not ONE single Democrat should vote to confirm ANY of Trump’s nominees. Like and share if you agree!!

If you see anyone talking about how the Amazon strike could disrupt the flow of packages:

Should be in every newsagents window.

This is why we love our national hero, @marcelias.bsky.social No appeasement. No conciliation. We need to FIGHT.

My Christmas Wish: stop watching US Legacy Media. It’s worthless. Completely worthless.
